Sounds like you may have installed and activated the Contact extension. One of its primary features is to suppress the email addresses to keep them private and display a contact form instead.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Thanks, I saved this with the source files to be included in the next update. I plan on making sure more of it is translation ready soon. Keep an eye out for the next RC preview release in the updates. (You have to make sure the Beta Versions support is enabled in the settings).

RE: We have a sheet containing 1 line for each certificate. I’ve included an example off my personal data. Will that work?

No the import support does not import just the certificates. You add them to the row of the entry you are importing. You would follow the same rules as importing the entry categories when using the CSV Import extension.

RE: Will this import certificates into existing entries?

Yes, but only if you have the Entry ID column and each row has the entry ID assigned by WordPress.

RE: Or will new entries be generated?

Yes, if no entry ID is supplied “duplicates” will be created.

RE: If not how should I link them to an existing entry? Via first- and lastname?

Here’s an minimal example row:

Entry ID, First Name, Last Name, Categories,            Certificates
186     , Age       , dJ       , "Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3", "Cert 1, Cert 2, Cert 3"    

This would update an existing entry 186 with certs.

To get a CSV file with the Entry ID navigate to the Connections : Tools admin page and click the Export tab. Scroll to the bottom and use the Export All tool.

You can add you certs to this file and import it to update existing entries.

Hope this helps!

ps. The Certification extension does not yet support CSV Export so, existing certs will not be included in the exported CSV file. I have not yet work out the code to add the feature because it has not yet been a requested feature. Only 10–20 people are using it so I really only ever work on it as needed.

Note to self:

The tweak was changing these lines:

$link = cnURL::permalink(
    array(
        'type'       => 'category',
        'slug'       => implode( '/', $slugs ),
        'title'      => $term->name,
        'text'       => $term->name,
        'data'       => 'url',
        'force_home' => $atts['force_home'],
        'home_id'    => $homepage,
        'return'     => TRUE,
    )
);

to this:

$link = get_permalink( $homepage );

@ Mark

Great to hear! I think is you move all your featured categories to a “Featured” parent category, you could not have use CSS to hide them.

fyi, since the Category Homepage plugin was altered, you should never update it otherwise that tweak I made will be lost. I recommend making a reliable backup of it so you always have it on hand.

@ Age

Hmmm… perhaps the was a delay to something being cached when you reset the role capabilities.

I just release an update to Certifications which add support for importing certifications and attaching them to the entry.

Add a Certifications column to your CSV file. You can import a single cert or multiple certs per entry/CSV row.

For a single cert just add the name, eg. "Cert One".

To import and attach more than one, eg. "Cert One, Cert Two, Cert Three".

Basically just like categories. Hope this makes sense!

@ Mark

Ok, I logged in and made the tweak. Is the result what you are looking to achieve now? I can not tell as I’m still not quite 100% sure.

[Steven Zahm]

@ Age

So, you can view the Categories admin page but not edit them? Can you add them? Can you share a screen showing what you see?

Can you try creating a second admin account and see if that admin can edit?
